Dentyne-isms

Yesterday I found a saying on a friend's facebook page that I thought was pretty interesting. It said "Tall people may be taller, but they always get rained on first". It's just a simple saying, but it gave me something to think about. Yes, it's true that tall people do physically get rained on first since the rain reaches us first, but I also thought about the quote in a different way as well. You've heard the saying "rained on" or "rain on my parade" before and I was thinking, do taller people "get rained on" more than shorter people? The real answer is that I just think way too much about everything lol...

This saying was from the package of a Dentyne gum container. All the Dentyne gum packages have different sayings called Dentyne-isms and most of them are pretty interesting to just think about. I looked online trying to find some of the other sayings and I compiled a list of the ones I could find, since no one had done that yet. Here is the list of the sayings that I found on the internet:

1. Take the path less traveled (but bring plenty of underwear).
